    All for $1 each...
    Great day today. Most notable is the War double LP and the Santana/Miles live. The War is in near mint shape. I love these people who are abandoning this stuff.

    I see you're enjoying re-issues lately noob. The allure of new vinyl is great. Man Blakey looks young in that pic.

    Half-Price Books installed a rack of new releases of jazz classics sometime in the last week or two. With that store, when something is gone you have no idea if or when it will be back, so I'm taking advantage.

    Good score...the only bad thing about the War album is that it cuts down the time of each song.

    Great score noob. Every jazz fan aught to have that one in their collection. Notice Golson wrote most of the tunes and Timmons wrote 2 of them. Golson was a writing machine. He is also still living today. Moaning was a big hit for Timmons. Morgan was 20 years of age. But when you listen, listen to the tone of Golsons sax....it is a very distinctive tone and his signature sound. Once you hear his signiture sound and the skill at which he plays you kinda get hooked to his sound, lie you can get use to Coltrains signiture sound.

    I believe Golson/Morgan and then Golson/Art Farmer rivaled Miles/Coltrain back in the day....at least in my thinking. You throw in all the Movie scores Golson wrote for Hollywood and then all the Jazz tunes he wrote for others, as well as those he wrote for himself, he may have written more tunes than Miles.

    Pops...IF you like "The Manhattan Transfer"....you should really love "Lambert, Hendrix and Ross" with the later being more bebop and a great influence on the original Manhattan Transfer.

    Only the re-issued tunes from previous albums were edited. I don't care because I have them on other LPs already. I am a War fan. The new songs that were wrote for the album are all full length.

    Regardless, it's in excellent condition and sounds fantastic.

    One of my all time favorites from War is "City country City" Its cut way down on platinum. But if you got the original scores it wont matter. I love War even when Eric Burton was in charge. It was a sad day when Big "Pappa Dee Allen" died of that heart attack.

    Yes War did something special in music and really challenged the status quo. Always upbeat and fun to listen to.

    A Good Week!!
    Today I went along with a friend into a neighbouring town. I was going to help him move an antique vanity that he bought his wife as a surprise gift. When we got there, half of the house was packed up...a real mess.

    As my buddy and this guy were chatting, I noticed several crates of LPs. I went over and started browsing. Finally they came over to me, and I asked him if they were his.

    "Actually I don't know who's they are. Why? You use records?"

    Before I can even say yes, he says...

    "You can take em all if you want..."

    :arf:

    There were 4 crates. I left what I didn't want, or what was too damaged. For the most part they are lightly used but some titles are in only average condition.

    What a haul!!!!:yesnod:
    I've got about half of them. Took me 20 years to collect em!:sad:

    There's some stuff there you'll really like. The Coleman Hawkins is a nice set. Time Life is very thorough with their boxed sets.

    Joe I was up almost all night. The ECM stuff is amazing, and in great condition. I have to go get some inners/outters today. Really enjoyed the Smith f/ Turrentine. Also the Dolphy w/ Hubbard is a treat.

    OK this week just reached stupid proportions. I am now numb to the joy. Forgot that frenchmon had this little gem in the mail for me. Brand new re-issue, 180g. Gorgeous.

    fenchmon, it sounds amazing. Open and detailed. Great pressing!

    Hey Pops...I've had alots of those jazz lps over the years. RIchard "Grove" Holmes is a very good organist. Do me a favor and let me know the quality of the Time Life recordings. Are they good recordings? There is a used record shop near me that has a bunch of those but I stayed away because I didn't want to take a chance on buying bad recordings. "Grove" Holmes is from right here in St. Louis.

    Pops that Pat Metheny "Off Ramp" is also a good one.....You've got to listen to the one tune on that album called "Are you going with me". Its Methenys vey first hit that put him on the map.
